To the Edge and Ready to Fly...

An eagle isn't taught to fly by watching the mother's wings as she hovers over the nest. An eagle learns to fly by being pushed from the nest, being caught and pushed again until the eagle learns to fly. At CCJHS, we want to push students to the edge of learning. We want our students to fall over the edge until they are able to fly on their own...creating their own personalized path of learning based on their own data knowledge. #CCJHSEaglePride means a student owning their own learning.

Social Studies Writing: Create Your Own Product

Pretend you are like Willy Wonka - the inventor of many delicious chocolate creations or Evan from Lemonade Wars. They are producers. These type of people create new products to help increase the economy as well as employee people in order to increase the standard of living.

Your job, if you choose to accept it, is to create a product to sell. Be sure to set your price and then persuade Mrs. Belinda to buy your product. Remember that Mrs Belinda likes vocabulary (especially vocabulary from the Economics Task Cards). The better the vocabulary the more likely she will be to purchase your product.

Write your persuasive essay on Google Docs. You may include pictures. You may use your imagination. You must have at least 3 paragraphs. Remember that your customer is Mrs. Belinda. See you at the edge.
